The growth in skyscrapers (摩天大楼) worldwide, most of which have large glass panes, has led to a great need for window washers. Though the job, which earns workers as much as $35 an hour, can be lucrative, accidents are not uncommon. However, the dangerous chore may soon be done by Ozmo, an intelligent window cleaning robot, with humans supervising (监督) from the safety of the ground.
Much like humans, Ozmo, hanging off the sides of the building, uses its arms and brushes to clean the dirt and grime on the glass panes. A 3-D map of the building programmed into its system allows the robot to skillfully move up and down. Computer vision and touch sensors (传感器) enable it to move out of the way in case of unexpected events, such as the sudden opening of a window. And the robot will self-correct and move around it so as not to break a window.
Unlike other window washers, the robot cleaner does not require soap or Windex to clean the glass. Instead, it uses purified water (纯净水) and a process called reverse osmosis (反渗透) to do the job. It is environmentally friendly.
While it takes three cleaners 480 hours each to clean the windows of a 40-story glass building, the robot will single-handedly complete the task in just 80 hours. However, unlike other robots, Ozmo will not replace human workers, only making their jobs safer. Human workers will control the robot from below.
Whether Ozmo, which is still undergoing testing, docs as good a job as humans remains to be seen. * Past efforts to use a robot to do this dangerous job have not been successful, because the machines do not have the same eye as humans and often miss the soot (烟垢) collected on window corners.

Before you learned how to walk or talk, you learned how to snack. It started as a handful of Cheerios (面包圈) on your high chair tray (高脚椅), then some Goldfish Cookies after school. In fact, many teens snack as often as four times a day.
The top snack picks for teens are factory made desserts, salty snacks, candies, and fruit drinks. While unprocessed food like strawberries or cheese can give you what your body needs. Those aren’t the foods that are the easiest to get your hands on. Have you looked at the vending machine (投币式自动售货机) or local convenience store recently?
